I owe this thanks to a Russian Family that came on CNN...

One game that beats memory game is the following...

Create a small scene cluttered with many things and show it to a person ONCE for like 5 seconds...Then flip the image and show that same picture, missing 1 item out of the many...Then show a bigger cluttered scene and repeat the process but continue increasing the image gradually....Is hard many times remember an image but is easier to remember something mentally if something was missing...Even though this practice IS A LOT HARDER...

Sometimes you dont got to look at what´s in the picture but what is missing from the picture....

And you create a memory game this way....
